Reading Product Weight Labels
The number on a product label is not abstract — it is a real weight that connects to units a child already knows.
Finding the weight on a package
"Net weight 400 g" means the weight of the product itself, without packaging. Find this label on several products at home together.
💡 Store practice: compare weights of different package sizes of the same product — which offers a better price per gram?
Comparing products by weight
A 250 g cookie box for $2 versus a 500 g box for $3.60 — which is the better deal? Calculating price per gram is a practical use of division.
